Frankfurt – Union Berlin Prediction Bundesliga, Matchday 4 on Saturday, 09/21/2025 at 3:30 p.m.
Three days after the 5-1 gala against Galatasaray, the lights are coming back on at Deutsche Bank Park. Against Union, the home side will be looking to immediately make up for the setback they suffered recently in Leverkusen.
Apart from the challenges of the English week that is coming to an end, the prospects for redemption don’t look too bad – after all, the visitors are struggling with the worst start to a Bundesliga season in their club’s history.
In my Frankfurt Union Berlin tips, I still manage to give the Iron Ones a few words of encouragement. Ultimately, however, these are likely to prove to be little more than ineffective placebos against the superior Hessians.
As a Union fan who has been traveling the country for decades with often justified pride, I will of course be watching the “away game” in full via DAZN streaming. Once again, however, I don’t have a good feeling about it.
Although Union unexpectedly successfully tackled its traditional away weakness at the end of last season, the squad does not seem to have been significantly strengthened since then.
Eintracht has once again lost some of its most valuable players, but Frankfurt always seems to be able to draw even more strength from such setbacks.
As a result, the only question mark in my Frankfurt vs. Union Berlin prediction is the margin of victory for the favorites—which is also reflected in most of my betting considerations.
Frankfurt vs. Union Berlin prediction & bets
English week or not, Eintracht is now experienced enough to juggle three competitions to everyone’s satisfaction – this is especially true when the challenges are limited.
After already crushing Bremen 4-1 in their home debut, a handicap bet is once again proving to be an interesting option. With Union already having lost in Dortmund, a handicap of -1 at odds of 2.45 should not be too unrealistic.
I am particularly impressed by Eintracht’s offense, especially since Union has never defended as poorly as it has this year in the first three Bundesliga match days. If Frankfurt scores at least three goals, old and new betting providers will return around 2.65 times the stake.
However, I have also saved a goal (scorer) bet for the Iron. After Ilyas Ansah scored three of Union’s four goals so far, he could now also get his chance in Frankfurt. If the new Köpenick player scores, you’ll get around 4 times your stake back!

Frankfurt- Union Berlin: AI tip & odds analysis
It has long since become a real sport for me to measure myself against the recommendations of our in-house artificial betting intelligence – even if it sometimes makes it too easy for me.
The fact that the Frankfurt Union Berlin AI prediction recommends a home win as the comparatively low-risk option simply cannot be contradicted in view of my own betting tip.
However, I take a completely different view of the suggested over/under bet. The under 2.5 goals suggested here come with odds of almost 2.50: However, in order to follow this tip, I would need to have much more confidence in the Berlin defense.
The resulting score prediction of 2:0 does, however, include the handicap that I had also considered. At 7.75, the odds are of course much higher if you risk committing to an exact result.
In this case, it might make sense to take advantage of one of the numerous free bets offered by betting providers, which, if the worst comes to the worst, will at least forgive the otherwise painful loss.
The best odds for Frankfurt vs. Union Berlin
After a detailed analysis of the upcoming match, if we take a closer look at the Frankfurt Union odds, we can consider ourselves lucky that a home win is still very playable as a single bet.
Although “Frankfurt to win” has lost a few hundredths of a point in recent days, it seems to have reached a holding line at just under 1.60.
In view of the significantly more attractive alternatives, the double chance X2 is a viable option for Union fans. If the Iron Ones actually score points in Frankfurt for the third time – however they do it – this will be rewarded with odds of around 2.40.
However, those who have the courage to go exclusively for the “X” or “Tip 2” can even double their winnings if they are successful. A draw would yield 4.40, while an away win would result in a comfortable “5” before the decimal point…
Frankfurt vs Union Berlin Match Analysis:
Eintracht will be pleased to see that, just three days after their triumphant duel with Galatasaray, they are now continuing on the national stage at Deutsche Bank Park, which has long made a name for itself as a fortress.
Not only did the Hessians confidently win their first home game of the season against Werder Bremen 4-1, but they also picked up 13 points in their last five home games across two seasons, which is very impressive.
However, the fact that their last defeat to date came at home against Union Berlin may raise a few eyebrows. Out of the blue, the Köpenickers won 2-1 on the Main at the beginning of March.
Since they also only managed a goalless draw in front of their home crowd in the penultimate season, Frankfurt are not far off from being labeled a new bogey team here.
And while we’re on the subject, there’s another reason to give the hosts a little scare. Union ended last season on a respectable note with five consecutive unbeaten games on the road.
That little run started just after a 6-0 debacle at Signal Iduna Park, which was followed by the aforementioned victory in Frankfurt, and now the Iron Ones are coming into the upcoming rematch with another fresh defeat from Dortmund under their belts.
In view of recent developments, however, it would probably be somewhat disastrous for FCU to rely on such historical mind games.
Three points after three games mean that Berlin’s current start to the season is their worst since promotion to the Bundesliga.
The eight goals they have already conceded are also historically poor, which is probably not the best sign ahead of the clash against Hessen, who have been scoring at a record pace so far.
Frankfurt form check
Focusing solely on the Bundesliga, Eintracht’s deserved defeat in Leverkusen has ruined their chances of a dream start. Probably also due to their sudden change of coach, Werkself once again appeared to be Hesse’s bogey team.
Although SGE’s intended role as Bayern’s main challenger is now in question after this setback, Dino Toppmöller’s team can still look back on a convincing start to the season.
Eintracht’s offensive department in particular is likely to cause justified concern for the Iron, which has certainly not been alleviated by their show of strength in the Champions League.
So far, only the inevitable FC Bayern has scored more goals than SGE (8), which, incidentally, is the best tally in 13 years – and the fourth-best performance since Frankfurt started playing soccer.
In line with these relatively high figures, Frankfurt is currently outperforming even the German record champions in terms of finishing efficiency.
Union Berlin form check
After their unexpected opening victory against VfB Stuttgart, Union Berlin have recently experienced a considerable sobering up. Heavy defeats against BVB and Hoffenheim served as a reminder that many experts considered the club to be relegation candidates even before the start of the season.
While the 3-0 defeat in Dortmund was still considered “business as usual,” the Ironers now have more to worry about defensively after their 4-2 loss to TSG: Eight goals conceded in three games are not part of Steffen Baumgart’s original plan.
However, given the long list of absences in the back line, even the Union coach can probably only shrug his shoulders in helplessness; in Frankfurt, too, three potential regulars in the back line are out with Leite, Nsoki, and Rothe.
Consequently, it will probably take a magic potion to successfully defy Eintracht’s strong strikers. However, the team from Köpenick had already relied on miraculous results during last year’s trips to the Main.
